In the statement, published today, Zyuganov reminds that Clinton assured Georgia Washington still sees Abkhazia and South Ossetia as parts of Georgia, and presence of Russian forces there - as occupation. "Her trip, undoubtedly, was the continuation of campaign to knock together an anti-Russian bloc," he said.

Previously the Foreign Ministry of Russia negatively assessed the statement of the U.S. Secretary General about "occupation of Georgia's territory" by Russia.

"Thus, the use by Secretary of State Clinton of the term "occupation" has no foundation beneath it. There is not a single Russian service member in the territory of Georgia. In the region there are Russian military contingents, but they are stationed in the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which have seceded from Georgia as a result of the aggression unleashed by the Saakashvili regime. At the same time Abkhazia and South Ossetia have their own democratically formed legislative, executive and judicial authorities fully operational; political parties are actively working there," the document said.
